Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2017b. DST law changes in Chile, Haiti, and Mongolia. Historical corrections for Ecuador, Kazakhstan, Liberia, and Spain.
The IANA crew continue their campaign to replace invented time zone abbrevations with numeric GMT offsets. This update changes numerous zones in South America, the Pacific and Indian oceans, and some Asian and Middle Eastern zones. I kept these abbreviations in the tznames/ data files, however, so that we will still accept them for input. (We may want to start trimming those files someday, but I think we should wait for the upstream dust to settle before deciding what to do.) In passing, add MESZ (Mitteleuropaeische Sommerzeit) to the tznames lists; since we accept MEZ (Mitteleuropaeische Zeit) it seems rather strange not to take the other one. And fix some incorrect, or at least obsolete, comments that certain abbreviations are not traceable to the IANA data.
